Chocolate Math for 2017 *

Guessing your age through chocolate

[This is pretty neat how it works out... DON’T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST...
It takes less than a minute... Work this out as you read... Be sure you don’t
read the bottom until you’ve worked it out...]

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have
chocolate (try for more than once but less than 10) ...

2. Multiply this number by 2 ...

3. Add 5 ...

4. Multiply it by 50. I’ll wait while you get the calculator ...

5. If you have already had your birthday this year (2017) add
1767 *; If you haven’t, add 1766
*...

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born ...

You should have a three digit number ...

The first digit of this was your original number (i.e. how many times you want to have chocolate each week) ...
